The European Union moves toward a new round of Russia-related sanctions after EU ambassadors reach a preliminary agreement to add 145 individuals and entities to its sanctions lists. The package includes 50 Russian banks, along with companies and other organisations described as supporting activities connected to Moscow’s operations, including a “shadow fleet,” as well as alleged hybrid warfare and cyberattacks.
EU foreign ministers are expected to formally approve the decision on Monday, following the ambassadors’ provisional approval. Across the coverage, the reporting emphasises the scope of the list and the inclusion of banks, while also noting that the agreement is not yet final and remains subject to ministers’ confirmation.
